EUROPEAN & NORTH AMERICAN
Judge Colt Oismisses the Norton
Suit.

Some time ago suit was brought in the
Circuit Court for the District of Maine, by
Mr.. Marcus p Norton ON behalf Of himself
and all other bondholders of the consolidated
European IL North American Railway to re-
deem the portion of its railroad and proper
ty lying within the State of Maine; from a
foreclosure under trust deed executed by
the European & North American Railway.
The point raised by the counsel for the de-
fendant was that the court did not have jur-
isdiction. The court in its opinion says: /:
From careful reading of the whole evil
dence and especially th at of documentary
if not the only real party in interest in this
suit is +. A. III. Pillsbury, citizen OF the
State Of Maine, and that the transfer Of the
bonds to his brother lone of the plalntiffs)
and the agreements with Norton were made
for the purpose of giving the court jurisdic-
tion over the controversary. 1t is evident
that the elder Pillsbury did not want TO bring
the suit in the State court, because he could
have done so at any time in his own name,
federal courts, he found his brother, now a
young man of twenty-five years Of age, re-
siding in Boston worth only few hundred
dollars, and the court was of the opinion
that man w ith only a few hundred dollars
couldn't be the real plaintiff to suit and
claiming to be the owner of such q large
number of bonds and accordingly ordered
that the bill be dismissed on the ground that
the Circuit Court Of the United States had
no jurisdiction. Warren IL Brandies OF Bos-
ton were solicitors and counsel for plaintiffs.

The case Of John L. Thompson VS., Levi A.
Dow. tried at Belfast Tuesday and Wednes-
day Of last week, involves a new and interest
ing geographical question, where Penobscot
River leaves off and Penobscot Bay begins
This suit is one of large number for viola
tion Of weekly close time of the law for the
protection of migratory fishes, and especially
salmon. The act under which they are
brought applies to the Bay, but does not
apply to the River. The weirs in question
are located at Sears Island in Searsport, and
the defendant claims that they are in the
River. The fact Of running them in close
time was not contested, but the defendant
justified upon the above ground. A large
amount of evidence in the way Of charts,
maps, biographies, histories, gazateers, acts
of the legislature, coast pilots, and public
documents, was introduced by both sides the
defense going back as far as the voyage made
to this coast by George Weymouth In 1905.
After the evidence was in the plaintiffs
counsel asked the presiding judge-Judge
Libbey-to take judicial notice that Sears
Island is in PenobscOt Bay. The counsel for
the defense c0ntended vigorously that the
question was one for jury alone to decide.
whether in the Bay or River. At the close
of the discussion at this point of law the
judge ruled that the question whether the lo.
eatien OF the weirs, as shown by the testi-
mony, was In place where the law applied
or not, and on his suggestion it was agreed
to report the case to the law court. III the
ruling OF Judge Libbey Is sustained by the
full court they will decide whether Sears

This makes Gov. Ames's plurality 1851,
against 9,473 last year. This year he has
clear majority of 6,556, against 923 in 1886.
For Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Bracket re-
ceived 1888 votes, against 1l5, ,739 for Col.
Cutting; making Mr. Brackets plurality
22,144. The vote for the prohibitory candi-
date for governor, 1O,697, is less than 25OO
greater than in 1886, and is about 1000 less
than the lowest claim made before the cleo
tion by his supporters. The two mis- sing
towns cast a total vote of LOG last year.
The greatest surprise of the day was the
immense falling off in the expected Demo-
cratic plurality in Boston, The Democrats
had exerted themselves to secure the regis
tration of their voters, and had succeeded in
swelling the list by several thousands AS a
consequence, they were confident Of great
ly increased plurality in the city, few of
them being willing to admit that it would
fall below 1900. But, as matter of fact,
it was but little more than 5000. AS soon as
the leaders began to receive the returns ind-
eating such result, they saw that the case
was hopeless, and the returns from surround
ing towns confirmed them in their belief.
Brookline showed net gain of nearly 400
for Ames, Milton of more than 150; and
these facts, taken in connection with the
votes in the strong Republican wards of
Boston, proved that despite the advice of
President Cleveland, the Independents had
voted for Ames. The disappointment Of the
Democrats, as contrasted with their previous
confidence, the existence of which had been
proved by their securing Faneuil Hall for
jollifcafion meeting, was intense. No Dem
ocrat had even plausible reason to offer,
which might indicate claim that the result
had been brought about by any reason other
than that the majority Of the people desired
to sustain the Republican party and its can
didates.
The legislative contests have excited much
interest, particularly with regard to the SEN
ate, because of the efforts of the liquor deal
ers especially TO capture that branch, and
because of the bitter fights engaged in in
some districts from purely local causes.
With the returns all in, the Senate stands
80 Republicans to 10 Democrats, against 25
and 10 respectively, in the legislature of 1887.
In the House there have been equal Re
publican gains in the east, but they have
been nearly Offset by the increase Of Demo-
Gratis in the western delegation. Without
three districts not yet heard from, the House
stands 161 Republicans, IA Democrats and
Independents. In the present legislature
the party strength was 157 Republicans and
SO Democrats.
President Boardnan is returned to the
Senate by handsome vote, and Speaker
Noyes has his old figure of 2 in his plurality,
but this time doubled and with two ciphers
added, Among the surprises is the defeat of
Lathr0p for the Senate in Springfield, and
the success of John G. Crosby of Pittsfeld.

MR. BLAINE IN PARIS.
A Conversation with the President Of
the French Republic.


NEW YORK, Nov 9.-The Herald's Eu-
ropean edition publishes the following;
A triangular conversation took place yes
terday during Mr.. Blaines visit to President
Grevy at the Elysee Palace, where he was
accompanied by Minister McLane. Presi-
dent Grevy, after chatting familiarly with
Mr.. McLane, said to Mr.. Blaine:
'How does it happen, Mr.. Blaine, that. oc-
cupying such prominent position as you do
you still find time enough to travel about
and amuse yourself in Europe"
To this Mr.. Blaine replied in English: 81
have no official prominence in the United
States, but still am a political man, and l
am enabled to come abroad thanks to the
efforts of the Democratic party and Mr.. Nc
Lanes friends, who managed to prevent me
from occupying the Presidential chair, po-
sition which, permit me to say, could not
have occupied as gracefully as M. Grevy oc-
pies his own"
Mr.. Blaine then turned to Mr. McLane and
said; will you kindly translate that to the
President?"
Mr.. McLane did so in fluent and diplomatic
French, and with sly smile added: "And
have never had occasion TO repent Of hav-
ing taken such action-that is to say, politi-
cally opposing Mr. Blaine"
Mr.. McLane then told Mr.. Blaine what he
had just said to the President, whereupon
Mr.. Blaine Immediately rejoined: please
tell the President that / have none the less
respect for you on that account"
President Grevy then shook both Mr.. Nc
Lane and Mr. Blaine warmly by the hand
and said rather sadly:
81 regret that in my own country it Is
rare sight indeed to see two political oppo-
nents on such excellent terms"
Today the President sent his card to Mr..
Blaine's hotel as an acknowledgment of Mr..
Blaine's visit.
After the visit to the President, Mr.. Blaine
became more loquacious, and last night he
passed an hour with ex-Congressman John
B. Alley, of Boston, who is staying at Hotel
Chatham. 1t seems that Mr.. Blaine had
heard through common friend here that
Mr.. Alley was partial to him and his nomi-
nation, so Mr.. Blaine Immediately called
upon him at his hotel and gave him much Of
his confidence.
During the conversation Mr.. Blaine said:
81 have had the best physicians in London
and Paris, and they have pronounced me to
be in perfect health and condition. l am
quite assured Of my denomination, but
should not be elected l would not even
then give up politics. / consider the sena-
torship of good, sound State equal. If not
superior. to the Presidency as a position
worth seeking. All j want now is perfect
rest and quiet"

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Tbe complete cor
rected returns of the total city vote for dis
trict attorney is as follows: Fellows, 93.9O6 !;
Nicoll, 73,004; Post 3O,605. The total city
vote for justices of the Supreme Court is as
follows: Rollins, $4,000; Rowland, 26.134 I;
O'Brien, 43,779; Lawrence, 41,233; Thomas,
1905; Vincent, 12,515. The judges elected
for the city courts are Pitshke, MCGOWAN
and Hill. District Attorney MARITIME has
been elected judge of the General Sessions
Court.
Nine hundred and ninety-fiye election dis
trictS in New York State, outside of New
York and Kings counties, give Cook l64, 757.
Grant 1S2,O64, Huntington 16,414, George
9035. The same districts in 1885 gave Hill
169,4 ,446, Davenport 1864, Bascom 1874.
The returns SO far received indicate that
the next assembly will have 70 Republicans
and 30 Democrats.
Henry George says that the United Labor
party has met its Bull Run, not its Water
loo. Victory in the end is certain. The re-
suit proves that there are 30, 1000 men in New
York who cannot be seduced away from a
principle.
Patrick Ford, in the Irish World, claims
the credit of defeating the United Labor
party. He says the falling off in the George
vote is almost entirely due to Georges rela-
tions with DR.. McGlynn. The defeat was
not a defeat of the land tax doctrine but of
the anti-Catholic spirit infused into the
campaign. If this mistake is rectifed,
George may do better next time
Erie county has gone Republican by about
256O plurality. Buffalo elected Republican
mayor, Philip Becker. John Loughlin,
Rep, is elected State senator by about 5000
majority.

The dignifed professor was DIR. II. Car
rington Bolton, and his subject was "The
contingent rhymes of children. A study
in International folklore" DIR. Bolton was
formerly professor in Trinity college, Hart
ford. He has just returned from tour In
Europe. He explained to the audience that
these rhymes and many Others which he had
picked up in twenty languages were used
by children in their games to determine who
should have the most undesirable part. Prof.
Bolton said he had collected contingent
rhymes in twenty languages, civilized, half
civilized and barbarous. In Dutch he had
collected fourteen contingent rhymes, In
German 269 and in English Asa. Altogether.
by corresponding with scholars in all parts
of the world, he had obtained $50 counting
out rhymes. One Of the most common jim
giles in all languages was the familiar

There is only one corrupt Latin verse that
DR.. Bolton could remember 1t is:
In, hoe, Domino, quod.
Ducks foot plump in the mud
Children nowadays, however, are inclined
to improve on the old doggerel DR.. Bolton
had interviewed a good many children in all
languages, and found it difficult to under
stand them. The latest discovery dug up by
DIR. Bolton was this:
